The Los Angeles Lawyers Philharmonic is the creation of founder-conductor Gary S. Greene, a violinist, conductor and practicing attorney for more than 40 years. He is also the founder of the 100-member chorus, Legal Voices as well as America’s #1 Legal Band, Gary Greene, Esq. and His Big Band of Barristers. Proclaimed by the City of Los Angeles as LA’s Only Legal Orchestra, the Los Angeles Lawyers Philharmonic held its first rehearsal on January 19, 2009 with 30 legal musicians and Maestro Greene on the podium. Since then, the orchestra has grown to 75 members and has performed more than 40 concerts. The LA Lawyers Phil is proud to support the Salvation Army. The mission of the LA Lawyers Phil, Legal Voices and the Big Band of Barristers is to raise funds for those who cannot afford legal services and for other charitable organizations. These musical groups are where lawyers, judges, law students and legal staff meet in harmony. The members include conservatory graduates, professional musicians and some hobbyists who are dusting off instruments they played in their youth. Others are harmonizing using their voices that are more commonly heard in courtrooms than on the concert stage. Nevertheless, the music prevails. The Los Angeles Lawyers Philharmonic is a recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. For more information, visit www.LALawyersPhil.org or call (323) 525-1800.
